November will see the next supplement for Frostgrave- Forgotten Pacts, which can only mean one thing… a new plastic set for the game!

What could possibly be missing for this fantastic world, other than Barbarians! Yep. You heard it.

Keep an eye out for a new plastic Barbarian kit from North Stat Military Figures to grow your collection and add some new, colorful characters to the frosty realm. I may just be missing Game of Thrones, but these totally strike me as a cross between Braveheart and the Wildlings.

Will you be adding some Barbarians to your Frostgrave games?

"I may just be missing Game of Thrones, but these totally strike me as a cross between Braveheart and the Wildlings..."

I think its more a hold over from metal historical miniatures. Those kind of bases would make casting metal (and possibly resin) minis easier, especially in gravity casting systems (any bubbles would theoretically end up in the base as opposed to the figure). Also it does mean you don’t really need to stick them to a base, but then why do they supply separate round plastic bases?

I suspect it’s an old convention from when Metal miniatures was often based on coins. To make them easier to glue to the coins. For some reason they can’t let it go even when making new models.

Why NS and almost all manufacturers of historical minis insist on still sculpting them that way in the age of HIPS when it would be so much easier for us all with just a peg under one or two feet (that could easily be cut off), I can’t understand.

This game is so well supported with a release schedule that doesn’t break the bank. It also allows me to finally use a lot of minis that I have bought over years just because they look good. On that note the Barbarians look good so I’ll jump in on the nickstarter when it begins.

Probably gonna pick some of these up to use as chaos marauders for my AoS Nurgle army. Don’t really like the current (ancient) plastic GW marauders but these should fit nicely. Shame marauders don’t get bows like the old chaos thugs used to.
